How about this year we don't dedicate so many lanes to slower swimmers in warm up. Last year there were about 4 end lanes out of the total 16 lanes dedicated to the slowest older swimmers. That's 25% of the entire warmup space !
We need a better way to keep the slow people in the slow lanes and the faster people in the faster lanes during warm up. Warm up turns worthless after the first 10 minutes.

I aware of the beneficial effects of altitude training. It's the only way I can hang with the Evil Smith each year at Masters Nationals. Let's you feel like your 30 when you're 43... :-) for a day or to anyway.
After living in Denver the last 4 year, I submit to you that long term training year after year at altitude is not as beneficial as you may think. Unless you are extremely talented, young and in great shape, it is next to impossible to come close to race pace in workouts. You end up practicing swimming slow........ which is not good.
